The investment bank on Thursday sued a company controlled by the veteran activist investor over an $18.5 million bill, saying CVR Energy Inc. owed Goldman for work done earlier this year.

The refining company hired Goldman after it was targeted by Mr. Icahn, who sought to take over the company for $30 a share. When it became apparent in May that he would succeed at that price, Goldman billed CVR Energy, its suit says.
